The news media reports further suggested that Pahlaj Nihalani has called a meeting of all his CBFC members in Thiruvananthapuram on July 28, 2017. In this meeting he is likely to be suggested to leave. As per the buzz, the filmmaker Prakash Jha and TV producer actor Chandraprakash Diwedi who are the part of the team are now the top contenders to replace Nihalani. In fact, if you remember the recent diktat from him saying that superstars who are seen consuming alcohol or cigarettes on screen must be banned also made news in the media by the currnet chief. He feels that with mere a warning before the movie will not going to solve the purpose and if the movie really has some strong reason to show smoking, the movie should get an A certificate.

Pahlaj was seen talking to a news website wherein he said that merely putting a ticker warning with such scenes in the film will not going to sort out the issue about smoking or drinking scene shown films.
